nav class and hiking

Sign me up for the class, also
sgt rockhttp://hikinghq.net/compass/compass_nav.html has good stuff but i need some hands on. I lost my gps and believe i'll go with a compass and map. i have been looking. input needed. Also i would like to hike a bunch. as always planning people doing what they do and do it great.

Ok I have found the maps and will get 5 (maybe that would be enough) and some protractors and ranger beads for a class. If you have maps of your own please bring them so you will know how to use them afterwards. If you do plan to bring a map please let me know what the scale of your map is and I will make sure we have a protractor for that scale also. (the scale is located in the bottom center of the map where you find the scaling lines that represent miles, meters, ect.) It should be 1:24000 or 1:50000 or something similar.

Shannan will you make sure to grab a map for Running Feather? He PM'd me looking for one and will not be arriving before the ranger station closes for the night.
